One area I was pleased with this afternoon was he OL. They protected very well and held things open long enough for Horvath to get there.
OL improvement
- Thread starter boilerpt
- Start date
When Craig went out with an injury, his replacement got beat for a sack on maybe the next play. Not sure who that was, but they pulled it back together and were solid the rest of the way
Yep. OL deserves a ton of credit. They were SIGNIFICANTLY better than last season.
Fully agree. That may have been the biggest improvement over last year.
agree, the OL looked to be a big approvement, that Craig kid looks like a prototypical BIG10 lineman
Depth is a big help here. I think we played 9 guys?
3 guys seem set....Long, HErmanns and Craig (when healthy) Other 2 spots are up for grabs and we'll see a lot of rotation. Depth definitely allowed us to run the ball....almost at will late in the 4th.
We did what a lot of teams had done to us in close games over the past 3 years....grind out a 5-6 minute drive, score and then get a stop on D to win. Was good to flip that on somebody. Especially as a dog.

Absolutely. I was so relieved and happy to see how they played. It's such a big key to success for this team if we can run the ball.
